In its first edition of the Seaside Startup Summit in Ras Al Khaimah, our 2nd year Undergraduate BBA students aced a competition by winning $4000 for their social entrepreneurial pitch held from 8th to 12th February 2018. Among 70 other teams at Startup Tech Weekend (25th – 27th January 2018) our students – Tanushree Kumar, Saras Sachdev, Riya Shukla and Sahaj Chopra (Team Ligaro) were among the top 5 teams. They pitched to 50 investors and 300 venture capitalists at a more private meeting in a largest outdoor startup event in the UAE.
After this winning feat, our students gear up for another challenge internationally at the Sevan Startup Summit in Armenia (22-29 July 2018) against 200 teams. The team has also received an invitation to pitch and develop ideas for India at the Startup Summit in Goa (6-11 March 2018).
